One person was shot dead and three were injured in Los Angeles Thursday after a drive-by attack that occurred during the funeral procession for slain rapper Nipsey Hussle, police said.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said three men and one woman were shot in a Watts neighborhood where the memorial passed through. He didn't say who died, only that the victims were between the ages of 30 and 50 and the gunfire came from a gray car.
"We must stop this senseless violence," he wrote in a tweet.
The shooting occurred as some 10,000 fans of the slain rapper, whose legal name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom, lined the 25.5-mile funeral procession route through the city to honor Hussle, who was shot dead March 31 in the parking lot of his LA-area clothing store. The artist's coffin went through several Los Angeles communities, including Watts and Inglewood.
Suspect Eric Holder, 29, was arrested for Hussle's death and charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder, charges to which he pleaded not guilty. He is being held on a $5-million bond.
Several people were also injured in a stampede during a vigil for Hussle the day after his death, which occurred when the crowd of 400 people began to flee in panic after someone pulled out a gun. The LAPD said two women who'd attended the vigil were shot and had taken themselves to the hospital.
"The victims were in stable condition, with non-life-threatening injuries, and confirmed that they were at the vigil," the police report said, adding that officers served a search warrant Monday on several locations to obtain evidence.
Thursday's shooting follows an uptick in Los Angeles gun violence. In the week ending with Hussle's death, 26 people had been shot and 10 were killed, Moore said.
Before Thursday's the funeral procession, a memorial service was held for Hussle at the Staples Center that included performances by Stevie Wonder and Jhene Aiko with speeches by Snoop Dogg and others.
It would be more interesting than a hockey game. It’s guaranteed they will “clear the benches”
It was a quiet day..................
When I first saw his name in a headline this morning I thought it was a typo. I’ve never heard of Mr. Hustle.
I wasn’t aware that Nipsey Hussle had been killed by Eric Holder. Only not the same Eric Holder.
Yes, quite ironic..................F&F...................
BAN RAP “Music”
CONFISCATE ALL RAPPERS
Rep. SwallowWell . . .where art thou?
“... an uptick in Los Angeles gun violence... “
No no.
When there are over 1000 gang members per 100k for a certain protected from truth group of inner-city folks, it’s a gang violence problem.
Chimps and Gorillas never really got along.
“...after a drive-by attack that occurred during the funeral procession...”
That’s de riguer in Chicago.
They should just bury this SOB pronto, and forget all “memorials” - lest more people die.
Loved Nipsey, watched any game show that had him on, just to hear his daily poem.
Go to college, stay in college
don’t finish ‘til you’re through
If they can make penicillin out of mold
they’ll make sumpin’ out of you!
The "community" knows who is doing this shiite but because they live in a racist, devolutionary culture they would rather have them on the streets rather than in "Whitey's" prison where they belong.
Given enough time and weaponry, something like this could be a self-correcting problem. :P
Like a Self Cleaning Oven. Spray the sides, then close the lid tight.
